Announcing... Mirror Music
The new full-length album on Deutsche Grammophon
Michael A. Muller
Mirror Music
Deutsche Grammophon
10 Tracks / 42 Minutes
Mirror Music, Muller’s debut full-length for Deutsche Grammophon, is a study in reflection, with 10 tracks created in collaboration with 11 international artists. Thematically, the album is meant to feel familiar yet distant, a half-remembered dream that challenges what music ought to be while inspiring inward-facing interpretation. Formed by the inexplicable harmony of human connection and one’s impermanence in the wider scheme of self, existence and place; Mirror Music is at once holding out a magnifying glass while offering an open window to an ever-expanding cosmos.

"On Mirror Music, Michael creates a world that feels to me both familiar and alien, like I'm wandering the savannas on a distant planet. While listening, I spend half the time wondering, 'what is that sound?' and the other half asking myself, 'what is this feeling?’. — Hrishikesh Hirway, Song Exploder
